Hi:Since getting back on the air five years ago after a 30 year absence, I have advanced to Extra Class and have made contact with all states except Alaska. I have rarely ever heard an Alaskan station. Do you have any suggestions on how to QSO with Alaska and get my WAS award ?73 Dave W8GJ

6th call are is more likely to see Alaska than some one in the 8th call area - on average. I can count on two fingers the number of Alaskan stations I heard since 1992. One was, WL7HP. I can't remember the other.

I work them often, but most of the time it is just before and just after local sunset on 20 meters.******* Several have mentioned contests as a good way to work them and I agree. I worked 5 Alaska's during Field Day.
